I left. When I should have stayed.
Jay Asher
Image
My breathing begins to slow. The tension in my muscles starts to relax. Then, a click in the headphones. A slow breath of air. I open my eyes to bright moonlight. And Hannah, with warmth. Thank you.
Jay Asher

That’s when I said it. That’s when I whispered to her, “I’m so sorry.” Because inside, I felt so happy and sad at the same time. Sad that it took me so long to get there. But happy that we got there together.

You can hear rumors. But you can't know them.
Jay Asher
Image
All you really have... is now.
Jay Asher
Image
If my love were an ocean, there would be no more land. If my love were a desert, you would see only sand. If my love were a star- late at night, only light. And if my love could grow wings, I'd be soaring in flight.

And what if in the future we're at war again, or we still haven't elected a non-white or non-male president, or the Rolling Stones are still dragging their tired old butts on stage? That would depress me way too much.

I swear, guys in groups are capable of the stupidest things. Like war, Kellan says, heaping napkins and ketchup packets onto her tray. And jumping off rooftops. And lighting their farts on fire, she says.
Jay Asher
Image
And it feels strange, almost sad, to walk through ther empty halls. Each step I take sounds so lonely.
Jay Asher
Image
How in the world was I alone? Because I wanted to be. That's all I can say. It's all that makes sense to me.
Jay Asher
Image
After all, how often do we get a second chance?
Jay Asher
Image
We didn't get that chance because I was afraid. Afraid I had no chance with you.
Jay Asher
Image
I sat. And I thought. And the more I thought, connecting the events in my life, the more my heart collapsed.
Jay Asher
Image
It was love because it was worth it.

What the hell happened to Pluto?!

Image
A week went by and nothing. But eventually, as they always will, the rumors reached me. And everyone knows you can't disprove a rumor.
Jay Asher
Image
You don't know what goes on in anyone's life but your own.
Jay Asher
Image
I hope you're ready, because I'm about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why my life ended. And if you're listening to these tapes, you're one of the reasons why.
Jay Asher
Image
But they were wrong. There was a reason.
Jay Asher
Image
You don’t know what goes on in anyone’s life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can’t be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re messing with their entire life. Everything. . . affects everything.
